Time-Lapse Photography Inspiration

Category: In MotionEthan G. Salwen @ 2:03 pm

For some serious inspiration in time-lapse photography, check out “12 Creative Uses of Time-Lapse Photography (and 4 Ways To Create It),” a post from “10,000 Words.”

Tracking flight patterns might seem fairly obvious, but then I never thought of using data from the FAA! The time-lapse documentation of the reconstruction of a Katrina-ravaged home is a great piece, and reminds of the time-lapse possibilities in documentary photography. Seeing a man age eight years in less than two minutes is bizarre, but is certainly idea-provoking. Of the 12 samples, my favorite is definitely the cross-country road trip, mesmerizingly shortened to four minutes. Nice!

Unfortunately, the “10,000 Words” post doesn’t deliver as much as I had hoped on the ways to create time-lapse photography, although there are a few links. The site’s previous entry also offers a few time-lapse photography tips and links, but nothing super substantial.

Are You Time-Lapsing?

Have you been bit by the time-lapse bug? Have a time-lapse video to share? Know of any instructional resources that are better than the ones featured in “10,000 Words”?
